Deal-Breaker if I had known

2014 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Had a lease-up on a Rav4, which had the rare 3rd row that I found useful.
I was reluctant to give that up but
excited to try the Honda with many friends loving their Odysseys, CRVs, etc. I absolutely LOVED the car (had it 3 wks), but I was shocked(and terrified) last night when I was heading home on somewhat rural drive in a pretty bad storm. The headlights are inadequate at best in that … sitch. Rain was heavy and roads were dark but it was far from the worst storm I have driven in.
Low beam illum. was poor and the brights did nothing but point straight
at the rain and reflect back.
Never a problem in the Toyota.Researched when I got home and see it's widely reported.Much loved otherwise
Impressions after 5 weeks

2014 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
After driving an Integra for 12 years, it's quite an adjustment switching to an SUV.
The back up camera in en excellent tool, but should not be used exclusively when in reverse - there's still no substitute for looking out that back.
The city gas mileage is way lower than I expected: 16 mpg is the highest I've gotten and this is driving with conserving gas in mind.
Highway is more … acceptable at 26 mpg.
I got this in the winter time and it is colder than usual. The heater in the CR-V takes several minutes to get going and provide heat. Just as I start to feel comfortable, I have arrived at my destination (work commute is less than 15 minutes.)
New to me, 2014 Honda CR-V AWD

2014 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
I bought this pre-owned, 2014 Honda CR-V for $16,900. I think it was a fair price. I didn't want the leather package and the navigation system of the EX_L was overwhelming to me but loved the options of the EX: Power moonroof, nice sound system, and enough electronic ports to make me very happy. There seems to be a hitch in the automatic transmission going from 1st to 2nd gears, but … I'll have the dealership look into that. After having the car for 3 weeks, I drove it from NC to D.C. The comfort and driving were great. The Bluetooth works great and the sound system was really nice. I'd definitely recommend this vehicle for Honda lovers moving from a smaller vehicle to something more roomy.
2014 CR-V EX AWD Excellent car but poor mileage

2014 Honda CR-V EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Purchased this late November 2013 and have put a little less than 1,000 miles on it so far.
Very happy with it so far, except for the gas mileage is below 20 mpg even with the eco button turned on, although almost all my driving so far have been on distances of less than 5 miles... mostly 2-3 miles.
Features I enjoy the most is the USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
When you hook your I … phone to the USB port, Pandora can be fully controlled with the car's audio system controls, including channel.
The backup camera is convenient too!
